Summary

CFO Brian Waller reported steady revenue inflows, a one-time literacy payment, salary-and-benefit-driven expenditure increases, flat overall enrollment, and showed progress photos of the CTEC modernization project.

CFO Brian Waller told the board that the district's revenue picture is broadly steady: property-tax receipts and state apportionment checks are rolling in and the district received a literacy categorical payment of about $508,000 this year.

Waller said salaries and benefits remain the largest share of the budget and described monthly tracking that places personnel costs at roughly 85% of the typical monthly expenditure pattern at the start of the year. He reported flat enrollment (down six students overall from last year) and noted the district is "tracking well" compared with budget. Waller also shared that drone time-lapse footage shows steady progress on the CTEC project and encouraged trustees to watch the short clips posted by staff.

Trustees asked clarifying questions about expenditure thresholds and the trend lines; Waller noted some monthly variance is normal early in the school year when hires and one-time start-up costs post.
